Examples are given of social media fails by companies like Lufthansa, a Swedish tourist board, and HMV that didn't listen to customers or empower them.

But there’s also the notion that social media is about the technology that facilitates individuals and groups of people to connect and interact, create and share.

Editor's Notes
- #6 I think the point is that we have yet to define what social media means. In fact its why I think we need to just think about social with out media. This helps get us away from a definition bound by technology and helps us realize that its much more than that. Its how we will define business in the future, it will oil our enterprises by driving efficiency, collaboration, innovation as well as other changes such as work balance and location.
- #7 The generations who have adapted to digital. Xer’s grew up analogue but adapted quickly. Y’ers always had digital products, basic to begin with but have grown up with ever increasing complexity
- #8 They will grow to not just a digital age but an age where we are connected 24 hours a day, where the things they own, the things they wear are all connected to the web. Interfaces such as a TV remote be met with “how did they work this thing. That’s crazy shit”They know other way to work and are innately social. They won’t hit the workforce for a while but when they do they will expect a very different reality to the one we have now.
